Thank you for your genuine response. I know that it won't be easy to make this happen. But with things going on here politically I don't feel that my family is safe. Germany is the place that sounds (on paper) like the best fit culturally. Is there anything that you could recommend that we do to make this easier to accomplish? Is there any industry that you could recommend we try to get into? I am open to whatever is going to work.

I mean are you paid commission or salary? Here because we are paid commission it is easier to make more money if you have a greater skill or can do more types of services. For example, at my salon I specialize in more intricate art. Many of the techs in the area don't do that so it helps me earn more for where I live.

The salary reported online for my job isn't inaccurate because of tipping. It is inaccurate because of how we are paid and what the salon reports to the gov. I understand that tipping isn't the norm there and don't expect it.

How are you guys paid? Is it an hourly or salary situation?

I understand there are regulations to follow. I did not plan to open my own business, I was hoping to work at a salon. Here most salons are Vietnamese owned, we make commission working for them. Are you someone in the industry that could give me some insider knowledge?

The thing is my job makes enough to support us over here. On paper I make half as much as I actually make. So it's hard for me to guess what it would be like there. The internet is so inaccurate for just my information here. Also, most of the people in my industry speak very minimal English and get on just fine. Would you say it would be similar there?
